Ansley and Jason... Married!

Amber here :)

A couple of weeks back, I had the opportunity to spend a spectacular Saturday with Ansley and Jason. You might remember Ansley and Jay from their
super fun engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate... the session in which their adorable pug, Elmer, stole the show. Well, I don't think anyone stole the show from Ansley on her wedding day.

We started off the morning pretty low-key. Bridesmaids brunch... hours of primping... and then suddenly, I was standing in awe of the finished product. Ansley was absolutely breathtaking.

Meanwhile, Jay and his groomsmen were taking Asheville by storm. They had opted to add a second photographer to their package, so my dear friend Ian had the pleasure of running all over town with the guys. I think they might've had just a bit of fun :)

A few ceremony images...

Just as the ceremony ended, a storm hit! There was supposedly 0% chance of rain that day... but apparently someone predicted that one wrong! Thankfully, it passed quickly, leaving absolutely beautiful light in its wake.

(I was standing in a downpour for this image... we weren't sure if it was going to stop. The minute I captured this, the sky cleared!)

And from that point on, the light was amazing.

We returned for the reception, and I must say, I don't think I've ever seen Lioncrest look so beautiful. It was completely transformed. I love these amazing floral details created by
Studio Flora Diva that Ian captured while I was running around shooting portraits.

The reception was an awesome party. There was so much emotion to photograph. It was wonderful to be in a room filled with people who were so alive, and so obviously in love.

Huge thanks go out to Melissa and Becca from
Asheville Event Company. They completely rocked my world at this wedding. Everything was perfection!

I always consider it a great day when I have the opportunity to photograph alongside of
Paul and Holley Jackson from Four Season's Films. Ansley just recently sent me the movie trailer from her wedding... it is absolutely gorgeous! Watch it here:)

Ansley and Jay... you guys managed to crawl right up into my heart and made yourselves right at home there. I can't wait to see you again soon, and give Elmer a giant hug!
I hope you enjoy your slideshow.

(here's Elmer's one chance to steal the show!)

much love

Carolyn and Mats

Carolyn and Mats live in Sweden, so planning all of their wedding details was especially challenging for them... they did a great job! I love when ceremonies and receptions both take place in the Biltmore's Champagne Cellar. When they both happen there, the wedding party often gets a private behind-the-scenes tour of the winery... lots of fun! Here are a few of my favorite shots...

And a side note to Carolyn and Mats: you guys still interested in that family session in Sweden we talked about? I'm totallly down~!

Here's what the lovely couple had to say... "Corey is absolutely wonderful! Not only is he personable, fun, and so easy to get along with but extremely professional, capable, and able to bring the expected as well as unexpected perspective to all of the little details. "

They had their rehearsal dinner at Biltmore's Lioncrest:
